That was awesome, Xander! All about pushing the limits and showing what good gear, careful preparation, proper technique and local knowledge can produce.
I’ve watched so many angling shows from overseas and seen them battling big fish and wondered how much bruising they received when they can use a simple bucket as we here and as most use in South Africa, maybe it’s because of the size of some of the fish caught here but we use it for all types of angling, it assists in handling the catch and protects the stomach and most importantly the other manly parts from bruising.
Hi mate, that’s a beautiful video as always and this is by far my favourite fishing technique. I practice it regularly in Italy, where I live, catching big duckbills, short-tail stingrays, big conger eels, groupers and other species, but… here they simply do not appreciate. I’m about to buy an Assassin rod, being the first one to carry this rods in Italy. South Africa is my dream, hoping to realize it sooner or later…. Keep it up!!😉😉
I have caught a few big bronzes over 100kg on mono over the years, don't you think the wire traces either just snap or have a kink that weakens them rather than the shark actually biting off the trace. Wire snaps pretty easy
Hey Zander. Truly amazing content. Please share your Rod reel Braid type? What style and size hooks were used what style and pound of wire was used. This looked so much fun.
About the biggest fish we catch from the shore here are Tope up to around 50lb, or stingrays up to around the same about 50lb. Would love to fish for sharks like these off of a beach like that. The beach looks great too
Such a pleasure. You must not underestimate what you mean to the people that watch you. Crazy thing is, your the same awesome person even when the camera is off. While it was just another day of fishing for you, it is a memory that will go with me to the grave. Once again, thank you. If ever you would like a weekend with your family in Springer, the place is yours✌️
Awesome video, as always Zander! Would you say a 10k Saragosa will be sufficient to catch a fish like this, with maybe a 14k spool, or will you need a 20k? Will the 20k then be too big for edibles from the beach? What is the braid strength you used for this fish?
It is possible to land a fish like this on a 10k with a 14k spool, but it is not ideal for the fish or the reel. It would take really long to land and be prepared to lose a lot of big sharks or to be stripped. A 20k is ideal and I would advise to rather use a 20k when targeting bronze whalers. In this video I used 100lb braid as mainline and 180lb braided leader.
Coffee ready, here we go💪💪
Back at it again. Z.L.F. Woohoo yes please yeehooo

That was awesome, Xander! All about pushing the limits and showing what good gear, careful preparation, proper technique and local knowledge can produce.

Awesome! Mail me when you want to come and fish here. I do guided trips with anglers visiting S.A. 👌🏻
In Argentina we fish the same specimens, it is a pleasure to learn from you
Nice video bly darem ń lekker fight 💪🎣🎣

You should come visit Aus mate, your surf fishing techniques would dominate at Yalata South Aus
I would really like to fish Aus!
Is that Boggoms?
When you came back from west Africa?
Good fish.
Well done Xander, what an epic video once again, please come do a video in KZN soon brother :) Maybe during the Sardine Run this winter :)

Yeah I tend to agree with you on that🤙🏻

Epic🎣as always
Love the Bronzie vids bra 🤟
Doesn't your gear get rust of the sea water getting into it or is it special gear

Would love to fish for sharks like these off of a beach like that. The beach looks great too
Baie nice 👌

@@bevanrosswillemse9654 not sure, but it looks like a Makaira paired with Saragosa 20k reel you are using? Are you enjoying that setup?
Thanks bru! I appreciate the kind words! It means a lot to me. 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Lekker Vid....awesome
Awesome video, as always Zander!

@@zoolookfishing thanks for the reply. So do you use the 20k size mainly for sharks? Or for edibles as well?
Yes for big sharks and rays. The 20kg feels over powering for edibles.
@@zoolookfishing Lekker!
When is the best time to target raggies
Depending on the area, from Struisbaai to north of P. E now is the best time. March and april
What is a swim through
It is when the shark swims into your line before he gets to the bait. He usually bites you off behind the leader
Tks Xander
Watse katrolle dink jy moet ek kry
Jy sal bietjie meer spesifiek moet wees oor wat jy wil teiken ens…
